So...

3D uses a hook to adds some things to SpecialUpload (for patent)
UploadWizard extends from SpecialUpload form, to provide a no-JS fallback
UploadWizard overrides all other JS & config, but not the one added in from 3D
UploadWizard pulls in the 3D code for Special:Upload
Which in turn pulls in the special upload JS
But that one is lacking the relevant config to make it work

Seems this change by @Fomafix (?) https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/commit/442e3af0dd393fb8d29c2fb77a3d56ba6e2d15de#diff-13839a66403a513cf62e5fc2ca2fdf69

I can confirm this error and rMWe8ca20e84bae causes this error. But why is the module mediawiki.special.upload loaded on Special:UploadWizard without setting the expected JavaScript config variables?

rMWe8ca20e84bae didn't really cause the issue.
It's caused by a combination of things:

Extension:3D adds a few things (including JavaScript) to Special:Upload
Special:UploadWizard extends from Special:Upload (as no-JS fallback), without the relevant (core) JS
Which eventually leads to incomplete Special:Upload JS being loaded

(See a more complete reconstruction a few comments earlier: T187461#3976227)

Ideally, UploadWizard would not extend from Special:Upload in this way (or it should be more robust to make sure no other JS can be pulled in), but I've pushed a quick patch that'll prevent Ext:3D from adding the JS in Special:UploadWizard.
